Uh Oh, Melania's speech was plagiarized

[Pogo]

Apparently, artistic theft runs in the family. Seems Trump made his grand entrance to the tune of We Are the Champions without consent of the song's owners.

Queen protests Donald Trump's use of We Are the Champions

I just saw that absurdly pretentious Alfred Hitchcock entrance last night. Made me puke. How the self-deluded can drool all over themselves in obsequious supplication and not see the blatantly over-the-top übernarcissism in that farce is completely beyond my comprehension.

I suspect it's beyond more than a few Republicans' comprehension in the same way. The George Wills, the George Bushes, the Mitt Romneys, the John Kasichs, the Colorado delegates.... and yet to manifest, a great big chunk of ex-voters.

Fake tits, Fake speech. There is a pattern here.

Yeah, but she's got better legs than Bubba Clinton...

Good thing it doesnt matter what kind of legs a FLOTUS has. She is probably a security risk. I wonder how much porn she has done that can be used to bribe Trump?

I agree! She's probably also banged Putin - which may explain why Adolf Trump and Putin are such buds.
In fact, Melania may be a go-between messenger - or even a spy. This is serious!

The Real Winner At The GOP Convention Is Vladimir Putin

Please note you heard it from me first. About a hundred pages ago I pointed out that Melania's career and schooling were financed by none other than The KGB - headed by Vladimir Pootin.

It's not one of those Cinderella stories of poor little commie girl makes the big time against all odds...her Daddy was a card carrying member of the Communist party.

I do hope Sophia Vergara gets to play her in the TV movie, though!

I gotta say --- you've brought some posts here with good info.
This is not one of them.

They say Hillary shouldn't be president because she broke the law?

CLEVELAND ― The revelation that Donald Trump’s business staff writer Meredith McIver wrote the partly plagiarized speech given by Melania Trump on Mondaynight raises questions about whether his campaign is illegally commingling corporate and campaign resources.

McIver does not appear to have any official role in the presidential campaign. Her letter acknowledging her role in the speech debacle appeared on corporate letterhead from the Trump Organization. And she is not listed as being paid by the Trump campaign on any available reports filed with the Federal Election Commission.

Corporations are banned from donating directly or through in-kind services to political campaigns. McIver could have volunteered her services, but her offer to resign from the Trump Organization suggests that she was acting within her job responsibilities. (Donald Trump rejected that offer.)

“Given the identification of McIver as an ‘in-house staff writer’ at the Trump Organization in both the statement and letter, and her resignation from the Trump Organization ― printed on Trump Organization stationary ― and not the campaign, it appears that corporate resources may have been used to prepare the speech,” said Jordan Libowitz, communications director for the campaign finance watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. “That would make the speech an illegal in-kind corporate contribution from the Trump Organization to the campaign.”

Larry Noble, counsel at the Campaign Legal Center and former counsel for the FEC, agreed that McIvers’ role “raises a lot of red flags.”

Melania Trump Speech Appears To Be An Illegal Campaign Contribution

When will accused rapist Bill Clinton

No one has filed a rape charge against Clinton, unlike Trump.

When asked to be put under oath, all Clinton accusers have refused. Why is that?

Wasn't it Paula Jones who Bill 'settled' with for hundreds of thousands of dollars?
Good old Paula was able to describe Bill's 'My Little Pony'. Seems Bill's got an erect dick about three inches long.

I actually would prefer a First Lady that was..well...a bit more ladylike as First Lady of the USA. However, there doesn't seem to be any available at the moment. So...Hillary or Melania? I'll take Melania. She wants to thrill men...not kill them.

Worst voter reasoning ever.
You don't vote for FLOTUS anyway Gracie.

No. I vote for POTUS. It just happens to also include FLOTUS.

Welll ---- no. It doesn't.

Why do you think Patriot's using one hand to post?

Because it only takes one side of my brain and one side of my body to humiliate you moron's.

I'm just gonna let that sit there in all its........... whatever it is it sits in.

Nowhere in Melania's speech did I hear her say "For the first time in my adult life, I'm proud of my country".

Of course, MORON.....Melania is a foreigner and naturalized citizen.

(....and had she stated that line in some other of her speeches, you idiots would STILL say that she doesn't lift Michelle's words .)

And as usual, the sarcasm flies right over the liberal's head.

Kinda like the subtlety of a GHW Bush remark flew over yours ----- and continues to years later?

You mean this subtle remark? I don't know why you insist in repeatedly outing yourself as a conspiracy theorist but hey, if you're stupid enough to keep doing it, I'm happy to let you, moron.

It's been a while since I read this but as I recall George Bush still can't account for his whereabouts in Paris (?) sometime in October '80. Just as he can't account for his whereabouts in Dallas on November 22nd of 1963.

Do you REALLY want to go there????

There has been much talk of late about Donald Trump and the law. In addition to his regular threats to sue Ted Cruz, LawNewz.comdiscovered Trump has been named as a plaintiff and defendant in at least 169 different federal lawsuits. Some of the cases have been resolved, a few dismissed as frivolous, others privately settled. In the context of that research, we found one that was particularly interesting, even scandalous. So we did some further digging and obtained an exclusive copy of the $125 million lawsuit filed in 1997, which had been buried deep in a federal archive warehouse in Kansas City, Missouri. The case has almost never been reported on, and the shocking allegations just seemed to suddenly vanish in an era before the widespread availability of the internet.

The lawsuit was filed by Jill Harth who then went by Jill Harth Houraney on April 25, 1997. Harth, who was in her early 30’s at the time, alleged that Trump engaged in hostile and offensive sexual behavior towards her from 1992 to 1997 including “groping” her under her dress on several occasions

If you're blind, yeah.

Of the polls on the three pages there are 22 with Trump in the lead and 114 with Clinton in the lead.

You were saying?

And what is the point spread trend? If you're honest, you'll acknowledge that Trump has closed the gap and the polls have tightened to where they're pretty much even. But if you're not honest (like most liberals) you'll cherry pick the ones you like and ignore the trend.

Hillary hasn't named her VP or had her convention yet. Ya might wanna wait until the polls reflect those before leaping to conclusions.

This must be their first election cycle for summa these cub scouts ---- any candy whose party is holding a convention "right now" should be way ahead from the steady publicity (for example Dukakis, 1988). They have complete control and monopoly of all the attention. If Rump is "even" in polls right now, that amounts to "behind", especially considering the opposition hasn't held their convention yet. Let alone that it will have a stronger roster.

 

[koshergrl]

So we learned that Melania lied about the values she learned growing up

They were not her values but Michelle's

Actually, you're the liar. Michelle lied about her values, Melanie believed her, and actually has those values.

Lolol. Here we go...it's the "he's a sexual predator!" hysteria from the left that they get in with whenever they can't get the courts to do their bidding.

That's the one, thank you. If I had a dime for every time you've publicly shot yourself in the foot in failing to figure this out, I could buy the whole teleprompter business.

Trump must be irate that his wife was humiliated like that due to the ineptness of his staff

if it was staff, he'd have fired someone already. This has to be someone in the family...maybe even him.

The following article suggests it was Melania herself:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/20/us/politics/melania-trump-convention-speech.html

might be. i suppose she's just as capable of plagiarizing as the rest of them.

Why does everyone who sees a connection between Michelle Obama's speech and Melania Trump's speech have to see it in a negative light -.-?

democrat desperation

Yyyyah um..... it's confirmed now. You still lose.

I believe so. The point is it doesn't matter what the source is --- their source is going to read the same quote whether it's The Nation or Drudge. So the specific vehicle is irrelevant.

Note the part regarding how Melania ADMIRES Michelle Obama......That Trump family is a lot more "democrat" than many democrats.
